So I never thought I would be doing this, but over the years I have watched and done my fair degree of security courses and have always enjoyed being part of that environment of learning.
As time and life has moved on in this industry that I am a part of, Red Teaming as I know it has become mainly focussed on the digital perimeter.
Whilst this is great, it's only one small part of Red Teaming.
For some time, I have wanted to give a different view of what and how I see Red Teaming, or what I prefer to call Adversarial Simulation.
So this year, I applied to run my course at Black Hat in Vegas understanding that being selected would be challenging because I wanted to run a real covert entry simulation into an office building during the training. Something that has never been done before at this event.
Well I am happy to say that our four-day course has been accepted (even though some people may not agree with it). I believe this is a great step forward towards sharing our experiences in doing Red Teaming not just from a digital perspective but also physical, social and supply chain.
Here is an overview of what we will be providing:
This four-day, hands-on course will push students beyond typical classroom training scenarios - including a real-world physical entry into an actual office building, conduct executive surveillance, and a SOC actively monitoring the digital network.
Students will take part in a 'live' simulation over four days, testing their ability to think laterally and creatively. This training will explain the origins of Adversarial Simulation, who uses it, what context it's used in, and why it is of value to a security assessment.
